I really want to thank ya'll for the support. It means so much to me :) Well now ima stop talking and leave ya'll to the chapter :) Enjoy!

While we ate everyone was quiet. After eating my brothers watched movies, and played Xbox 360 in the living room. My mother stayed with Isabella in the playing room that was more like a daycare, while Jace and I planned what to do for the thirteenth of May. My brother Tito was coming home for a day, and it was going to be very special day.

Jace and I were sitting at the table that was in the living room. We had a few sheets of paper in front of us with drawings, and seating charts.

"So do you want to invite anyone?" Jace asked.

"Well there is this friend that Lando has. My mother wants Tito to meet him. Then there is our neighbor's father, my father, and my sister. I want to invite my cousins but I don't know if they are going to be able to come." I said

He nodded. "Well if they can't or they don't want to come they are going to miss out. We'll enjoy ourselves. So just family then?" He asked.

I nodded. "I wish your family could come." I told him.

"Me too." He said.

"Okay so I want to decorate the ballroom with balloons. I want blue balloons, and I want him to have something special to eat. Also a big tres leches chocolate cake, and we are going to need the private jet." I said.

He nodded and wrote everything down.

"I'm in charge of the food. Ya'll just buy the things that I am going to need." My mother said coming back to the living room

"Fine mom. So is that everything?" I asked Jace.

"I don't know it feels like we're missing something." He said.

"Music?" I asked.

He laughed. "We'll figure that later." He said.

I nodded.

"For now let's leave it like that." He said.

I smiled. "Yea cause its Zombie time!" I said.

Jace laughed. "You can't beat me." He said.

I laughed. "We'll see." I said.

We connected the other two controllers to the Xbox 360 Halo 4 edition. We played with Chris and Kevin the game Left 4 Dead 2.

I really liked that game.

Jace best me by killing one more zombie than me.

"I almost had you." I told him.

"I told you." He said.

"Rematch." I said.

"Fine." Jace said with a smile.

This time it was just the two of us playing.

"Tank! Tank!" Chris said.

"I know!' I said back. I really hated when the Tank came out. That thing would just sent you flying.

"Kill it!" Chris said

I rolled my eyes.

We had been shooting the tank since it came out.

"We are shooting it." Jace said.

"Yea it's not like we're trying to be friends with the Tank." I said.

"Ha ha very funny." Chris said.

I laughed.

The mission ended and Jace beat me again by one zombie.

"Really?" I said to him.

He smiled. "Just face it." He said.

"I'll beat you one day Jace." I said.

He smiled. "Challenge accepted." He said as he stared setting up the game again.

We played for at least an hour until I finally beat him by ten zombies.

"Ha! Hell Yea!" I said.

Jace laughed beside me. "It just takes practice love." He said.

I smiled and kissed him.

"Do ya'll make everything into a competition?" Chris asked.

I turned to look at him and smiled.

Jace kissed my cheek.

I turned to look back at Jace and we laughed.

"Sometimes." Jace said

"Yea we can tell." Kevin said.

Chris and Kevin looked like they were bored sitting on the couch.

The rest of the evening was long. Well it felt long. When the night came we couldn't do the vampire because it was raining.

I was actually looking toward to hearing Jace's stories. What my family didn't know was that they were actually real. My mother would freak out if she knew about it.

Ramiro and Adali stayed in their room, and they just joined us for dinner.

My mother didn't say anything about it again, and I was glad.

During dinner Isabella fell asleep, and when I was done eating I went to pick her up and kept her in my arms. My baby was growing up too fast right before my eyes, and I was going to start getting older. Then when I least expected it I was going to be leaving this world, and I would be living my children behind.

I waited until everyone was done eating before calling it a night. I gave Isabella to Jace while I helped my mother put all the dishes in the dish washer.

Jace and I went to put Isabella in her crib since she wasn't going to be waking up soon. Then we went back to the living room.

"Hey how would ya'll like to watch a movie in the theater room?" I asked.

"Um yea sounds nice." My mother said.

I smiled and nodded.

"Alright then let's go." Jace said.

He took my hand in his and we started walking up the stairs. We went to the hallway that was in front of ours.

I went to open the first door in the left, and they all went in. I went in and closed it behind me. I turned on the lights.

"Wow this looks amazing." Chris said.

I smiled. "Imagine playing games here." I said.

"We should have played here Left 4 Dead 2." Kevin said.

"Yea but you would probably freak out when the Tank came out." I told Him.

Kevin laughed. "You can count on that." He said.

I smiled and went to put the movie on the Xbox 360.

"Which one are we watching?" Kevin asked.

"We are watching Beastly." I said.

"Oh." He said.

I nodded. I went to the back where we could make popcorn and had the drinks. I started making some popcorn. "Ya'll can come get some drinks if ya'll want." I said.

Then everyone came and was behind the counter.

Why did I have to open my big mouth? Oh wait I just wanted to share everything with my family. That's why.

Jace helped me fill up the drinks and the popcorn bags. Then we got some for ourselves and we went to sit down. With the I Pad I dimmed the lights and played the movie.

I actually wanted to play Disney's Beauty and the Beast, but I knew my brothers wouldn't want to watch it. Beastly was similar to Beauty and the Beast so that's why I was fine with that one.

"Do ya'll want to watch another one? Or do ya'll want to watch another one?" Jace asked.

I kept eating my popcorn. This baby seemed like it was always hungry. Jace had gotten up three times to fill up my large cup of coke.

"Ya'll decide. I have to go to the bathroom." I said putting the popcorn on the seat next to mine. I got up and went to the bathroom in my room. I sighed when I finally made it. My bladder felt like it was going to explode. I washed my hands when I was done, and went to Isabella's room.

Isabella was still asleep, and she was smiling.

I smiled. I covered her. "Love you my princess." I whispered before giving her a kiss on her forehead. I went back to the theater room. The movie had already started. I went to sit next to Jace. I put up the cup holder so I could be closer to Jace.

He hugged me against him.

I smiled. I like sitting like this. I loved being in his arms. It was where I felt loved and safe. Now we were watching the movie Legion.

The movie was about Saint Michael the Archangel who came to earth to save a baby from demons and angels that came as humans to destroy a baby. The angels had the order since Michael the Archangel was given the order and he disobeyed. I didn't like the beginning when he had his wings cut off and it looked like he was in so much pain. The part when he was getting the guns was actually bad ass.

When the movie ended it was eleven.

"Well goodnight everyone. We're going to call it a night." I said.

"We are too." My mother said.

Chris and Kevin yawned.

I nodded.

They left while Jace and I stayed turning off everything. Then we went back to our room.

I went to change into my pajamas, and then I went to brush my teeth. I went to lie down on the bed while Jace was in the restroom brushing his teeth.

He came out just wearing his boxers, and came to lie down next to me.

I put my head on his chest and he hugged me.

"Jace I truly don't know if I should do this." I said.

"Do what?" Jace asked.

"Try to help Ramiro. I feel like it's wrong that he is here." I said.

He sighed. "It's your choice." He said.

"Yes but he told me that he loved me, and now I feel weird, but then I remember what he to me and I have decided that is time to leave the past in the past. That its where it belongs." I said.

"By do you mean by that?" He asked.

"I have decided...that I'm not going to invite them over anymore. There is a part of me that cares, and maybe its a little more than it should. Probably because I don't hate him, and I feel sorry for him. I care about people whether they have hurt me or not, and I have noticed that by giving him a chance to be around me, he think that he can still have a chance with me. I don't want that. I don't want him near me or Isabella or you. I got this weird feeling today when I saw him with Isabella. Besides I just want you and nobody else. It's time to let him go. I can't force him to do what's best for him...if he doesn't want it for himself. If he wants it he will go for it by himself without nobody forcing him." I said.

"You're right. He is not a child. He is almost a thirty year old man. If he doesn't mature, and if he doesn't want to change his life style it's on him, not on anyone else." He said.

I nodded. "He has a wife and a son in Honduras. He made me think it was his nephew. If he denies his own son, what can be expected of him? I found out that he has slept with his friends wives. That is not right." I said.

He looked at me. "What is bringing this out?" Jace asked.

I sighed. "Jace I am going to be honest with you since we haven't kept secrets, and I don't want to start now." I said.

"Okay." He said.

I filled him in on what happened while he was gone.

"That son of a bitch!" Jace said when I was done.

"I'm sorry I didn't know this was going to happen, but I will show everyone that wants or thinks that they can play with me that they can't. When you helped me heal I became stronger, and I will become stronger when I become a true shadowhunter." I said.

Jace sat up on the bed pulling me with him to sit up. "This is the way I see it." He said holding my hands. He sighed. "He sees you happy, and he ant stand it. So he wants to come between us, but we won't let anyone come between us. We have gotten this far, and we will be together as long as we live." He said.

I nodded.

"Besides I'm proud of you." He said.

I smiled. "Why?" I asked.

He smiled. "I saw his face. It was worse by dinner. Besides if you hit him with you knee, he is going to be hurting and swollen." He said with a smile.

I laughed. "It just came to me. I defended myself. I guess those self-defense classes actually worked." I said.

He smiled. "I told you they would."

I smiled and leaned towards him. I gave him a kiss. I meant to make it a light kiss, but he had another idea.

He took my head between his hands, holding me there.

I loved him, and he was a great kisser so that's why I would let him kiss me as long as he wanted.

Like always one thing led to the other, and I enjoyed being with him.

He was always careful not to hurt me.

A pounding on the door interrupted our honeymoon moment.

We looked at each other and quickly dressed into our pajamas.

I went to open the door. "What is it?" I asked Adali.

"It's Ramiro. He's saying some none sense of life is too cruel and he is better off dead." Adali said gasping for air.

I sighed. I looked at Jace. Now what were we going to do? We had already decided what we were going to do, and now this happened. "Where is he?" I asked.

"On the roof." He said.

I sighed. "Let's go Jace."

He nodded.

We ran to the elevator that led to the roof.

"How did he get up there anyway?" Jace asked.

"I was in my room. He came in with a bottle, and we both started drinking. He was mad at something because he had gone to look for ya'll, but then he came back saying that he was better off dead and I followed him. He took some stairs, and that was when I ran to ya'lls room." Adali said.

He was mad at something? He probably heard us taking.

The doors to the elevator opened and we got out. We looked for him, but he wasn't there.

Then someone grabbed me from behind.

I gasped.

He put his arm around my chest holding me against him.

"Let her go!" Jace said

"No! I will never let her go. She is mine. She will always belong to me." Ramiro said.

I tried to move, but that was when I felt something hard and cold against my temple.

Crap!

"You make a move, and I pull the trigger." Ramiro said.

"Ramiro please let me go." I said.

"No!" He said.

I jumped. Okay I'm not going to say that I'm not scared, because I am but not for my life, but for my child. "Look we can talk. Just put the gun down." I said.

"Ramiro let her go. You are going to hurt her. She's pregnant." Adali said.

His grip on me tighten.

Damn it!

"Never!" He said.

"What do you want?" Jace asked.

"I want to leave with her, and none of you are going to follow." Ramiro said.

"You're stupid if you think I'm leaving with you! I'm not going anywhere with you!" I said.

"Shut up! You're coming with me whether you like it or not!" He said giving me a kiss on the cheek.

I tried moving again, but he was strong. I looked at Jace, and tears started to fill my eyes.

He nodded.

I nodded once. I preferred to take the chance of Ramiro killing me that to leave with him. "Alright." I said. "Alright I'll...I'll leave with you, but you have to let me go so I can breathe." I said.

He let me go.

I turned to look at him.

He pointed the gun to my belly.

I got closer to him and acted like I was going to kiss him.

He brought the gun down.

I hit him with my knee on his private part. Them I hit him again, and then I pinched him on the face. I took the gun away and threw it. Then I hit him on the stomach.

He fell to the floor. "You bitch!" He said grabbing his balls. He tried reaching for the gun, but Jace was faster.

Jace kicked the gun and punched Ramiro on the face. "Get the hand cuffs!" He said.

I nodded. I went to the small storage room that was here. I looked for the hand cuffs and took them to Jace.

He put the hand cuffs on Ramiro.

I sat down and sighed.

Everything had happened so fast.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked.

He didn't say a thing.

I got up and put one finger under his chin. "Look at me. Why are you doing this? Why now?" I asked.

He was crying. "I don't know." He finally said.

I let him go. "You are so confusing. First you tell me that you were happy because of what everyone was saying. Then you asked me out. I accepted. I fell in love with you, and then you don't pay attention to me anymore. Then your brother gets into this problem with my mother. You act like it's my fault, and you break my heart. I leave and meet Jace. We get married and we're happy and then." I said stopping to take a deep breath. "One day I see your brother, and he tells me what happened to you. All we wanted to do was help and now you do this?!" I said.

He sighed. "I'm sorry it's just that...I went to look for you, and then...I heard you talking to him and it got me mad because I don't want to be away from you." He said.

"It's better that way. Don't you see? You are getting hurt, and obsessed. You are going to hurt me again. I wanted to help, but THIS got out of hand." I said.

He nodded. "I'm sorry." He said.

I nodded. "I'll have someone come for ya'll tomorrow. I wish ya'll both good luck, and I hope you find someone." I said before I turned around.

I looked at Jace. He looked sad. I walked to where he was, and he hugged me. I sighed and looked up at the sky. I blinked a couple of times to stop the tears from coming.

Jace let go of me and he just held my hands in his.

I half smiled and nodded.

He gave me a kiss on the forehead, and let me go. He went to take off the hand cuffs of Ramiro.

"Goodnight." I said when Jace came to stand next to me.

We walked together back to our room.

I looked at the clock. We had only been gone for five minutes. It had felt like it had been more.

We went to lie down on the bed.

I turned so my back was against Jace's chest.

He wrapped his arms around me. "Goodnight love." He said.

I smiled and closed my eyes. I took his hands in mine. "Goodnight babe." I said

There was an angel in front of me. It was seven in the morning, but the sky was black. It was darker than the regular night. There were no stars, and it felt like something was wrong. I looked down at my body. I was no longer pregnant, and my hair was reddish-brown straight to my waist. I was wearing black boots, black skinny jeans, a black vest, and a black sleeveless shirt. I was wearing a long silver chain with a silver cross that ended a few inches below my chest.

"It's time." The angel said.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"It's time to tell the people that we have to leave. They cannot see me, which means that I will guide you to where we have to go." The angel said.

I nodded.

Then we were walking. It looked like it was a desert.

I looked back and saw that there was a lot of people following. I saw my mother, my father, my brothers, my sisters, and some other people that I didn't know. A few moments later I looked back again and noticed that my father, Claudia, and Jakelin were no longer with the group. "Where did they go?" I asked the angel.

"They got lost in the way." The angel said.

I frowned. That meant that their souls were lost.

I was about to ask the angel, but then I saw a huge volcano in front of us. There was a small entrance, and we went in. Everything was red, prance, yellow, and black. There was fire and there was lava.

"You have to cross the ladder by yourself." The angel said.

I nodded. I walked forward. I turned around and saw that everyone was surrounded by fire.

"To save them you will need then ten keys of gold." An evil voice said.

I looked at the angel.

"There are ten levels that you have to go through. There will be one big gold key per level." The angel said.

I sighed and nodded. I turned back around and started walking on the ladder. The ladder was like a bridge that would take me to the other side. The problem was that I was walking on the ladder and there was lava below. I skipped and I grabbed the ladder. My heart was beating too fast. I sighed. That wad been close, and I can't quit now. I have to keep going. I swung my legs and got back on the ladder. I stood up and started walking again. I was just like six feet away from making it to the other side when I slipped again. I reached for the side of the ladder, but I couldn't grab it. I heard someone scream. I started to fall and I was going to die. I knew it. I could feel the vapor that the lava was throwing. I closed my eyes waiting for my death. Waiting to feel the burning Lava that was going to kill me. Instead I felt two strong arms around me. I opened one eye and looked down, and saw that instead of going down now I was going up. I opened my other eye and looked behind me.

The angel was carrying me. He took me back to the ladder. The same place I had been before I fell. "Be careful. I won't be able to save you if you fall again." He said.

I nodded. "Thank you." I said.

He nodded and flew back to stand where the ladder started.

I started walking again, and I finally made it to the other side. I looked to the side and saw that by the lava there was land and that there where weapons there. I cloned down carefully, and went to see the weapons. There were guns, swords, different kind of knives, and so many more weapons. I grabbed two swords, and tied them to my belt. I left them hanging on my sides. I grabbed a thirty eight, a silver nine millimeter, and the bullets. I grabbed a shot gun and two belts that were full of bullets for the shot gun.

"You can use all the weapons that you like, but in order to leave you must defeat the ten levels. Do you accept?" The evil voice asked.

"On one condition." I said.

"Which is?" The evil voice asked.

"When I complete the last level they leave with me." I said.

The evil voice laughed. "And when you don't you will belong to me." The evil voice said.

"If that is to happen, which I doubt, they will also be able to leave." I said.

The evil voice laughed again. "As you wish. Do we have a deal?"

Everything that mattered was my family's safety. I nodded. "Deal." I said.

"Good luck. You are going to need it. Let the games begin." The voice said.

I looked up to where the ladder was. There was a black wall there, and there was a projection there.

There was this thing that had red skin, yellow eyes, and black horns.

The projection turned off, and something started to come out in front of me.

Demons. I thought. I took a sword out prepared to fight. If it meant that I was going to have to fight to defend my family, and to give my life doing so I would gladly do it.

The demons stretched and then they jumped and tarred running.

I took the other sword out. One was not going to be enough.

One demon jumped and I ran to it. I jumped and cut its head off. I landed on a crouched position. "One down. Two to go." I said spinning my swords.

I ran to the second one.

It clawed at me.

I jumped and did a back flip in the air. I slashed it.

It turned around, and I cut its hands off. Then I went for its head. As the head fell, the third one ran to me.

I ran to the wall. I jumped and used my feet for support on the wall. Then I did a back flip cutting the demon's head at the same time as I did the back flip. I put the swords back on my belt and started to climb the wall. I had seen something shinning up there before. I made it half way and grabbed the key. They key was made of gold, but it didn't weight much. The key shinnied like nothing I had seen before. I put it in the key chain, and continued to climb up. I made it to the top and noticed that there was a lot of open space, and another wall. I started walking towards it until I saw six Rottweilers. They were not the normal kind of dogs, but zombie dogs.

"Shit." I said.

They looked up and growled. The one in the middle started running towards me.

I got the shot gun out and shot it in the head. Then one after the other started coming.

I kept shooting. It was a good thing that the shot gun could hold up to ten bullets. When I was done I went to the wall and started climbing. I got the second key, and I put it in the key chain. I climbed down and went back to where the other wall was when I heard a cry. I turned around and saw that there were a bunch of zombies running towards me. I looked back down and saw that not everything was fire and lava. There was water down there. I ran a little back. Then I ran and jumped off the cliff, and dove into the water.

Once in the water I saw something shinning, and I swam towards it. Once they key was in my hand I started swimming back up, and when I got to the surface I was surrounded by zombies and demons.

Just great. I thought rolling my eyes.

They were not near the water, but they were a lot of them. They were just standing there. I put the key on the floor and I was about to get out when something pulled me back into the water. I left the key on the rock, and I was dragged into the water. I kicked, but the thing wouldn't let me go. I grabbed a sword, and pulled my foot.

A tentacle was holding it.

I cut it and then I was free to go. I swam back up and got out of the water quickly. I got they key and put it in the key chain.

That was when the zombies noticed me, and started running towards me.

I grabbed my other sword and started slashing at them until I was done with the zombies.

At least the demons waited for their turn. There had been more zombies than demons and I was glad for that. When I was done with the demons, I heard the water moving. I turned around and saw that there was something coming out of the water. When the water was done failing a dragon stood there with several heads.

I woke up and felt arms around me. I tried to get out of them by pulling and kicking, but I couldn't.

"Relax. It's okay. It's me." Jace said behind me.

I was gasping for air and I momentarily relaxed. I sighed. I had freaked out, and I was covered in sweat. That was the first time that I had a dream like that. I looked at the clock.

It was eight in the morning.

I sighed again.

"Are you alright babe?" Jace asked.

I nodded. "Yea it was just a dream." I said.

Was it a dream or a vision of what I was going to do in the future?

Killing the zombies and demons wasn't scary, but what the voice said about keeping my soul was.

Jace massaged my shoulders. "Don't worry. It's over now." He said.

I nodded. "Yes it is. At least I'm with you." I said with a smile.

He kissed my neck. "Yes you are." He said. He touched my belly.

The baby started to move.

"The baby moved!" Jace said sounding very happy.

I smiled. "Because our baby loves you." I said.

Every time that Jace would touch my stomach, or every time he would talk the baby would start moving and kicking

I sat up and lifted up my shirt so I could see better.

This was weird. There were two small balls moving up and down on my stomach. When Jakelin had been pregnant with Kimberly there had only been one.

"What's wrong?" Jace asked.

"This is weird. There are two small balls forming, and they move." I said.

He smiled. "Maybe it's a knee and an elbow." He said.

I was still not sure, but there was a possibility that he could be right. I looked at him and smiled. "Yea you're right." I said.

He nodded and smiled. "Do you want to do something?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"Like what?" I asked smiling.

He smiled. "How about if we take a shower together, and we continue where we left off last night?" He asked.

I smiled. "That sounds like a great idea." I said before I kissed him.

Ramiro and Adali left around eleven.

Jace and I said our good-byes, but they wanted to come meet the baby when he or she was born. We told them that we will call them and then they left.

"I thought they would never leave." My mother said

I laughed. "It was awkward, but now we're alone." I said.

She smiled and nodded.

At four my mother and brothers left.

Jace and I had six hours before going to bed. We decided to go to the pool for an hour.

Isabella loved the water, and we just wanted to relax after what happened last night. After the hour we went back and I started to prepare dinner. We ate at six, and then Isabella fell asleep. We went to leave her in her room, and then we went to continue my Shadowhunter history class.

I had to learn everything since the beginning. I had to learn how the Archangel Michael came to Jonathan Shadowhunter one day, and gave him the gift to be one of his warriors.

(I know that in the mortal instruments is the angel Raziel that gives the mortal cup to Jonathan Shadowhunter, but I decided to change that since Archangel Michael is known to fight demons and fight for our souls when our time comes since demons come also to steal souls.)

He lectured me for two hours. He taught me the story of Archangel Michael, and how he defended God from Lucifer, when Lucifer said that he was stronger than God. How the war lasted a millennia, and then Archangel Michael tossed Lucifer to hell will all the angels that supported Lucifer's opinion, and the angels that doubted.

When we were done it was eight. We walked up the stairs my hands in his.

"Do you know what we should do right now?" I asked.

He smiled. "What?" He asked.

"I want to decorate Isabella's room." I said.

He smiled. "Do you have everything here?" He asked.

I smiled. "Of course. I gave a list to Novalee and she bought everything for me." I said.

He nodded. "Well put her in the baby room and I'll go get everything." He said.

I nodded. "It's in her room already." I said.

"Oh!" He said.

I smiled.

We went to Isabella's room and I picked her up.

"Can she sleep with us tonight?" I asked.

Jace smiled. "Sure. It feels like it has been a long time since she has slept with us." He said.

I smiled and nodded. I went to lie down Isabella in our bed. I put the pillows around her so she wouldn't fall. I went back to her room.

Jace had already started to paint.

I started to help him.

"So what do you want to do?" He asked.

I went to get the pictures of the rooms I had seen. There were two that I really liked.

He looked at them and then he looked at me.

"What?" I asked.

"Really?" He said.

"Oh come on! Please? She's only going to be this little once. Then she's going to be a toddler...and then she's going to grow some more, and then she's going to be a teenager...and then a young adult...and then an adult...and then she's going to get married..." I said as tears started to fill my eyes. "Then we're going to be grandparents, and then we're going to die." I said as tears ran down my cheeks.

"Love are you alright? We're going to live for a very long time." He said.

I nodded and cleaned my tears. "I'm sorry it's the damn hormones." I said.

He laughed. "Alright which one do you want?" He asked.

I smiled. "Well I wanted both of them, but we can do a mixture of both. Like we can do this wall." I said pointing to the wall where her crib is. "We can do the castle, and the mountains and the clouds." I said.

He nodded.

Yes I had goggled how to do a Disney's princess room because I wanted my daughter to have the perfect room.

"Well for now we can paint the room pink. Then you and Novalee can draw and paint the horses, the castle, the flowers and the grass and all of that." He said.

I smiled. I could tell he felt a little uncomfortable.

"You don't like this very much, do you? I mean if it was a boy you would enjoy it more right?" I asked.

He smiled. "It's not like I have something against women, because I don't, it's just that I think it would be easier to decorate a boy's room. Well for me it would." He said.

I smiled. "Then if we have a boy you can decorate his room." I said.

He smiled. "You wouldn't have to tell me twice." He said.

I laughed and got back to painting.

After a while we took a break.

I went to our room and sat down on the bed. Then I dialed Novalee's number.

"Hello?" Novalee said.

"Hey it's me." I said.

"Oh hey Karla. How are ya'll doing?" She asked.

"We're good. Listen I'm calling because I wanted to know how Kimberly is." I said.

"Oh! She's good. She plays a lot with the children." She said.

I nodded. "That's good to hear." I said.

"Would you like to talk to her?" Novalee asked.

"Yes of course." I said.

"Hang on." She said.

"Okay." I said.

A few seconds later there was some noise.

"Hello?" Kimberly said.

I smiled. "Hey baby how are you doing?" I asked.

"Hey aunt Karla! I'm good!" She said sound very happy.

"That's good to hear princess. Are you having fun?"

"Yes I kind of am. Aunt Karla?"

"Yes sweetie?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"Have you...have you found my mom?"

I sighed. "The truth is sweetie that we are still looking for her, but we're getting close though. You just have to be patient. You will be with her very soon. I promise."

"I believe you. When am I coming back home?"

"You already want to come home?"

"Yes."

"Let me speak with Novalee."

A few seconds passed.

"Yea?" Novalee said.

"Hey um she wants to come home." I said.

"Oh! I can send her back with my fiancé."

"If he could do me the favor I would really thank him. I'll buy the tickets, so don't worry about that."

"Okay just let me know."

"Okay I'll purchase them right now." I said going to get my laptop. I searched the continental website. "Hey Novalee the earliest there is for tomorrow is at five." I said.

"In the afternoon?" She asked.

I smiled. "No in the morning. They should be here by eight or nine."

"That one should be fine."

"Okay." I purchased two tickets. One under Kimberly's name and another under Freddy's. "Alright its set." I said. I gave her the confirmation number.

"Thank goodness for airplanes huh?" Novalee said.

"Yes. Thank you for taking care of her Novalee." I said.

"It was my pleasure. It's hard what she is going through, and I just want her to keep her mind off it for a while." She said.

"Yes it must he hard. I just hope that we find her soon."

"Me too." She sighed. "Before something happens."

"Yes that's what I think too."

"Well call me when she is already with you, okay?"

"Okay. Thank you Novalee."

"You welcome goodnight."

"Goodnight."

I sighed. It was nine thirty. After finishing Isabella's room, we went to pain Kimberly's room a very light pink color. The same as Isabella's. With the roll it was easier and faster. By the time we were done it was ten, and we took a shower after since we were going to have to be at the airport early.

The next morning Jace and I were up by six. We showered quickly, and got dressed. I went to get Isabella ready. Since she was meeting her uncle Tito for the first time today, I didn't know what dress to pit on her. I was a little nervous. In the end I decided to go with a sapphire color dress with black pols dots. O grabbed her black shoes, and her dark blue socks. I gave her a bath and changed her. I also changed her earrings. She was wearing white diamonds, and I changed them to heart shaped sapphires.

Kimberly's flight should be here by nine.

I sighed. I grabbed Isabella's bag, and then I picked up Isabella and we went down stairs.

"Aw. Isabella you look so cute." Jace said.

Isabella giggled.

"You look beautiful love." Jace said.

I smiled. "Thank you." I said. I was wearing a one shoulder long sleeve peachy pink short dress, with ankle short boots that were the same color as the dress. The dress and boots looked like they were made of glitter. "So what are you doing today?" I asked him.

"Well Freddy wants to stay for a few hours. So we are going to stay here while you are in Houston." He said.

"Oh, okay, but are we going to pick them up?" I asked.

"No. Actually they should be coming here in a private jet." He said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because if we went either you would stay without a car or we would have to take two cars." He said.

I nodded. "That's true." I said.

"So you are going to see your brother today. How do you feel?" He asked.

I smiled. "I feel happy, excited, nervous, and I wish you could go." I said.

He smiled. "I wish I could go also, but since we're shadowhunters we do not have identification." He said.

"I know." I said.

Today was Monday the seventh of May of Two Thousand Twelve. There were only six days left before he came to visit. Everything was already planned for that day.

We went to eat breakfast. When we were done I did some unpacking while Jace was with Isabella.

I unpacked some living room decorations. All the little angel statues and angel paintings were going there. I hung up paintings, and pictures around the living room, and the wall that was beside the stairs.

At ten twenty we heard the private jet land. It was just in time because I was about to leave.

I grabbed my keys, purse, and Isabella. I went to the car and I put Isabella in her car seat. I already had Kimberly's dress and shoes in the car.

As soon as she got off she got in the car and we left.

"Aunt Karla, where are we going?" Kimberly asked.

"We are going to see Tito." I said.

"Really?!" She asked.

I smiled. "Yes. I need you to change into the dress I brought for you." I told her.

"Okay." She said.

We made it to my mother's house two hours later.

I parked and got off. I went inside. 'Mom?' I said.

Nothing.

I went to her room. "Mom?" I said again.

"What?" She said.

"We have to go." I said.

"Where?" She asked.

"To see Tito." I said.

"Oh damn I forgot. Give me a few minutes to get dressed." She said.

"I can only give you ten. We don't have that much time." I said.

"Alright."

"I'll be outside."

"Okay."

I went back outside. I opened Kimberly's door. "Let me help you with the dress." I said.

She nodded and got off.

I pulled the zipper up, and tied the dress from the back into a bow. I brushed her hair, and put it up in a ponytail. The dress I had picked out for her was dark blue at the top, and black at the bottom. It was similar to Isabella's dress. "Did you put on your shoes?" I asked.

"Yes." She said.

I nodded. "Okay." I said.

She got back in the car, and I closed the door.

I had brought her ankle short boots. They had one inch heels, and I liked how they looked on her. I went to get on the driver's seat.

Kimberly was wearing pearl earrings.

I remembers that I had bought some silver sapphire earrings, and decided to give them to her. I looked for the small black box in my purse. When I found it, I have it to her.

"What's this?" She asked.

'They are for you. Put them on." I said as my mother came out of the house. I unlocked the doors.

She got on the passenger seat. "Wow its really hot outside." She said.

I nodded. I put the car on reverse and hot out of the drive way. Then I pit the car on drive, and started driving towards Downtown.

"Aw don't you look Kimberly. Those earrings look great on you." My mother said.

"Thank you grandma." Kimberly said.

"Where did you get them from?" My mother asked.

"Aunt Karla gave them to me." Kimberly said.

"Well they look great on you. Where were where you this weekend?" My mother asked.

"I was with Novalee." Kimberly said.

"Oh!" My mother said.

"She went to Manhattan for the weekend." I said.

"Oh. Did you have fun?" My mother asked.

"Yes. Novalee and Izzy are very nice. I got to play with Sara and David." Kimberley said.

My mother nodded. "So are you happy that you are going to see uncle Tito?" She asked.

"Yes. When aunt Karla told me I couldn't believe it. I haven't seen him in a while." Kimberly said.

"That's good. He wrote me and he said that he couldn't wait to see you." My mother said.

"I want to see him too." Kimberly said.

My mother turned to look at me. "Does he know about Jakelin?" She asked.

I nodded. "He knew before me." I said.

My mother sighed. "I can't wait until you see him. He looks so different." She said.

"Different? How?" I asked.

"Nope I am not saying a word. You have to see it for yourself." She said.

I laughed. "Fine."

"Tito said that he wanted to meet Jace." She said.

I nodded. "Yes he told me the same, but Jace couldn't come. He had some things to do with Freddy.'

"What kind of things?'

I sighed. "Jace is fixing a car, and he needed a second opinion and help. Freddy loves cars so they are fixing the Nissan 350Z."

"Oh!"

"Yea. Freddy is going to leave in a few hours so that's why he couldn't come."

"Oh okay."

I nodded. I took the San Jacinto exit, and parked in the parking lot that was in front of the jail. I went to pay for the parking space, and I put the receipt on the dashboard. I turned off the car. I grabbed my purse, my phone, and diaper bag and closed the door. I went to get Isabella out of her car seat, and I let Kimberly get out.

We closed all doors and locked the car. We started walking towards the building that was next to the parking lot. We crossed the street and went in.

"May I help you?" The woman behind the desk said.

"Yes. We have an appointment at one o'clock." I said.

"With who?" She asked.

"With my brother's counselor." I said.

"Who is your brother?" She asked.

"Anibal Marroquin." I said.

"What floor is he in?' She asked.

I fought the urge to roll my eyes. If she had the list she could check. "Third." I said.

"Yes that's right." She said checking her list. "May I have both of your identification?'

"Sure." I said. I went to put my purse, and Isabella's diaper bag down. "Kimberly sit down and hold Isabella for me please." I said.

Kimberly sat down and I gave her Isabella.

I started looking for my license in my purse. I took it out and my mother gave me hers. I gave them to the woman behind the desk.

"Here are your passes. One of the counselors should be here momentarily to guide you." She said.

I nodded. "Thank you."

She nodded.

I took my phone out and out and put it on vibrate. I grabbed my purse and put it inside Isabella's diaper bag. Then I picked up Isabella. "Thank you Kimberly." I said.

"You're welcome." Kimberly said.

Then a woman came out of an elevator. "Are you here for Anibal Marroquin?" She asked.

"Yes." I said.

"Follow me." She said.

We follows her to an elevator. The doors opened and we went in. The doors closed and she pressed the button with the number three.

I sighed. I couldn't believe that we were here. "So how is he?" I asked.

"The counselor will let you know." She said.

Well that was kind of rude.

"Oh! Then you are not his counselor." I said.

"No. I help out. We share the floor, but he is not one of mine." She said.

"Oh."

The elevator stopped and the doors opened.

We followed her into a hallway. There were a lot of men here, who were staring at us. We finally made it to a door. She opened it, and we went in, and there he was sitting down on a chair wearing a white shirt.

He got up and gave me a hug. Then he hugged our mother, Kimberly and Isabella. "Wow she looks so much like you." He said.

I smiled. "As David looks like you." I said.

He smiled.

"Okay how are you related to him?" The counselor asked.

Talk about ruining the moment. "I'm his sister, this is his niece Kimberly, his niece Isabella, and our mother." I said.

The counselor nodded and started writing on a piece of paper.

"May I?" Tito asked.

"Yea." I said giving him Isabella.

This Tito looked so different to the Tito I remembered. The one I remembered was skinny, a little tanned, and a little shorter. This Tito was buff, white, and taller.

"What?' He asked when he noticed that I was staring at him.

I smiled. "You look so different." I said.

He smiled. "Look who's talking." He said.

I laughed.

"Okay let's begin this session." The counselor said calling for our attention.

This was going to be a long hour of interrogation.
